The Portland (Oregon) Neirs, referring to
the celebrations In the country on the lay
ing Of the first cable across the Atlantic, In
1858, says: AT that time on the banks OF the
Yuba River there was young Irishman,
with pleasant face, very square shoulders
and very heavy muscles on his arms, set
ting sluices and rolling rocks, sometimes
making IS day, sometimes SlO but often
not Sl.50. To those around him when he
talked he expressed the hope that some
time he would strike bank which would
Yield him $4,000 or $1,000, and then he was
going to stop mining, buy him II farn and
settle down.
THE SILVER EXODUS.
So the years went by until the rumor went
across the Sierras that mighty vein Of
quarts, carrying strange black metal
which experts said was silver had been
found. Ueuce, with the exodus there, this
miner went. There was no work there for
the sluice box. Everything was under
ground aud every Inch OF advance had to be
made with drill and powder, for the stub
born rocks were jealous of their treasures

How to work the ores was problem which
had to be solved. The old European aud
Spanish-American methods would not do;
they were too costly and cumbersome to
operate upon that bleak, desert mountain
side.

CENTENNIAL GEL LIBERATION
THE LAST OF THE 1ooTH ANNlVER-
SARlES OF REVOLUTIONARY TIMES.
An UneQualled Display-Fresidont aud
Mrs. Cleveland Present with Many
Distinguished GueGts-GoVernor
Beavers Reception.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l5.--rhe last cen
tennial of the events of revolutionary
times began this morning. The streets
to-day present an appearance that is love
~ in the extreme; in all directions as far
as the eye can reach it was one mass of
bunting and decorations. The monster
civic andsindustrial pageant started at 10
o'clock and marched to Broad and Moore
streets, distance of nearly five miles, and
and then counter marched to the starting
point, passing through one continuous
line of observation stands, gaily decorated
with the flags of all nations.
The monster civic and industrial parade
illustrating the advancement of the in
dustrial arts and sciences during the past
century fairly eclipsed anything of the
kind ever known. There were in line 300
floats, each bearing a representation of
some particular branch of industry. There
We're 1900 men, 1900 hoases and 15Obands
of music.
The enormous proportions of the pa
geant may be understood when it is known
that as the head of the procession began
the countermarch al 2l0 p. m. after tray
ellng % squares TO South Market street,
only seven of the 90 divisions had passed
the reviewing staud.
At sunrise this morning the United
States war vessels anchored in the Della
ware river began their part in the cele-
bration. A salute of Is guns was fired
from each. An hour later the Queen
Emma followed with Il salute of II guns.
All the vessels were handsomely decor
ated with bunting and flags and tonight
are illuminated with Chinese lanterns.
There were beautiful pyrotechnic dis
plays from all the vessels this evening.
The training squadron consists of the
jamestown, Portsmouth and Saratoga.

The Thistle in IA High Wind.

The Thistle accompanied the Volunteer
and Mayflower in their trial race on Fri
day, and according to the lVOrld'S report
this was the way she behaved:
1t was noticeable that whenever the
squalls struck the Volunteer she lay down
to them, but did not luf, whereas the
Thistle invariably luiled. Even with her
topmast housed her lee rail was frequent
y buried 50 that half of her deck was
awash, and she ducked her bows III the
sea 50 that tons OF water frequently rolled
over her deck forward of the mast. Sew
eral times She put her boWsprit under,
while the American boats never once
touched theirs 10 the wave. Thus, on the
last reach, the Thistle, under exactly the
same canvas rs the MaytlOWer, and with
as nearly the same as the Volunteer as
she could conveniently carry, was fairly
outsailed by both. In the thrash to wind
ward from the last mark to the finish, as
on this reach, she WAS apparently sailed
for all she WAS worth, and her inferiori y
to the American yachts was even more
marked. 1t may be that Capt Barr was
not letting his boat do all she was worth,
but old yachtsmep who watched her per
Torrance i'll comparison with the Ameri-
can boats came home with the conviction
that the Mayhower would be more than d
match for her, and that the Volunteer
| would worst her very badly.
Although Captain Barr of the Thistle
| denies that his craft was sailed at hel
ceptibly since. In New York ON Satur
day the betting jumped from even money
to eight TO five in favor of the Volunteer
and it was rather hard to fad Thistle
supporters with money ready to put up OF
reasonable odds

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l0.--The Times
says President Cleveland gave reception
to the visiting governors Of the different
States in his parlor, after the parade,
which was over at $3.50 o clock last Friday.
1t was noticeable that Cleveland and Hill
stood apart from the others for some
time, and after the president had shaken
hands with the other governors ana they
had retired, GOV. Hill remained ana the
president and he chatted and laughed for
a long time. Gov. Hill and his staff were
at the same hotel with the president, at
the governors request. OF course Cleve-
land and Hill, chatting and laughing and
standing apart from the other governors,
was talked about by the other governors,
aud it got about the hotel. A prominent
republican Of this State, who has held
high offices in the gift of the people,
learned from.oDe of Gov. Hills staff that
the matter was all fixed Tuesday evening.

staff told another prominent man the

1t was also told by the best authority
that the programme that had been mapped
out had been brought about by the action
of the republicans i'll selecting Fred Grant
for secretary Of state, and that the big
democrats had decided ina Hill must be
renOminated Tor governor to save New
York. 1t was decided That Hill was the
strongest man the democrats could run
for governor in New York state, aud that
Cleveland's denomination for president
would save New York for the democrats
